DeBaser's review of The Rub's Bikini Gospel (1987) praises the record as an apotheosis of garage-punk songwriting and musicianship. The review highlights tight bass lines, dynamic drumming, sudden guitar shifts and ironic, disenchanting lyrics. Released on the Happy Squid label, the band is placed geographically between Torrance and San Pedro, California. The overall take is enthusiastic and admiring.

For:Fans of 1980s American punk, garage-punk collectors, listeners seeking raw, ironic punk rock.

The record is an apotheosis, a first listen does not fully grasp what these dissimulators are up to below deck.
